Am I the only one that doesn't get the joke about what's wrong with "Last 14 days" and "Last 12 months"?

  No. I can't figure out if he doesn't like the phrasing (instead of "last year," maybe) or thinks the time period is not useful. Generally speaking, especially near the beginning of the year, I often find "last 12 months" to be far more useful than "this year," which he didn't call out.

    Maybe "Fortnight" instead of 14 days would look better. :)

  No you're not. I don't get it either.
• swat535 12y ago
  the option right below it mentions "This year.."
  • Romdeau 12y ago
    This year should only mean this calendar year, last 12 months is a full 12 month overview. Both are useful for various reasons. That said i've seen "this year" used to mean last 12 months as well...

    One is calendar (or financial) year, the other is a rolling 12 months from today.
• paulcothenet 12y ago
  Had meant to point at "Last 6 months". (Last 12 months is often useful) IHMO, it clutters the options with options that are not useful (do you often look at your 14 days spending?) and already included in other options that are close.

    Looking at 14 days history can tell you if something is recurring weekly or not. Looking at a month too, but then you lose resolution. Same thing about 3/6/12 months. Looking for seasonal trends is not stupid.

  14 days = 2 weeks 3 months = a quarter 12 months = a year
  • MartyHoekstra 12y ago
    "2 weeks" may mean the last two calendar weeks, the last and the current calendar week, or the last 14 days. Without even going in to the ambiguity of what a calendar week is (a calender week starts on a Monday, and I will take no opposition), 14 days is less ambiguous (and therefor better) than two weeks. The same goes for the other ones.
